Why does this post have the ‘1’ postfix? Because this is definitely not the last time I will be visiting and making images of this place. There should be more photographic possibilities in the future when inspiration strikes again. Built on the site of the original National Stadium (Which was quite a large splendid example of brutalism. Do an internet search for images of it if you are interested.), the new Sports Hub encompasses a new Stadium, sports facilities, a mall (yup this is Singapore all right 😉 ), links to an indoor stadium, links to another mall with a cinema, links to other event halls, ice skating ring, and a whole load of other stuff. Read what the official website says, “a world-class, integrated sports, entertainment, and lifestyle hub delivering world-class sporting and entertainment events.”

Kallang Basin, Singapore: Admittedly this place didn’t look too cool a few decades ago. Just a place beside a dirty-looking river/bay. It is looking much better today and has obviously become a high-class residential area.

Singapore: A foreigner worker working on a temporary jetty climbs onto the wall of the work-in-progress. Opposite him, other foreigners – here as tourists – mill about a tourist space. All foreigners in this country, but in quite different situations.
